The Monday Before Dragon*Con

Can’t believe it’s almost time to drive on down to Atlanta for Dragon*Con.
This will be my fifth trip to the convention. And the first time I plan on
getting my picture taken with a celebrity. I’m either getting more stupid or more
brave. Haven’t figured it out just yet.

Why stupid? Because in the past I never would have paid to
have my picture taken with anyone. Sure, this was a birthday present, but I was
going to do it anyway (which made my friend’s present all the more easier for
her to buy!). But hey, I’m not getting any younger, so why not have some fun?
And yeah, I’m going to try my best to have fun getting my picture taken with
Karl Urban!

Why brave? Because I’m not feeling all that nervous about
it. In the past I’d be shaking already. I think being a writer has tons to do
with that. Or maybe the amount of conventions I’ve attended. Let me just say, I
never thought I’d get the nerve to do anything like this.

Last week I was planning on organizing my paperwork. I was
able to clean up the guest room and the bookcases in there, but never made it
to my desk. Doubt I do, too. I have a synopsis to polish (hoping to submit
Blind Temptation before I leave on Wednesday), laundry to wash, and bags to
pack. Oh yeah, snacks to buy, too. Gotta have food at Dragon*Con, since I tend
to miss some meals there (because I’m usually standing in line for a panel).

So… Have you recently found yourself braver than you thought
possible? Or maybe more stupid?

About Me

After years of wondering if I would ever have a passion in life (besides loving my husband), I finally found it. Writing!
Maybe I should have realized it back in High School when I loved all my English classes. So what do I major in College? Accounting. Go figure. Well, I've shucked the accounting job and now I'm published through Lyrical Press, an imprint of Kensington Publishing. Couldn't be happier.
